Fudge v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to death. The Supreme Court affirmed. In 2010, Petitioner filed a pro se petition asking that the Supreme Court reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis, claiming, among other things, that the State withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense in violation of Brady v. Maryland. The Supreme Court denied the petition, concluding that Petitioner did not establish a Brady violation. Now before the Court was Petitioner’s second petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis in which Petitioner again claimed that there was other evidence hidden by the State at trial in violation of Brady. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding (1) Petitioner failed to establish a Brady violation; and (2) the remainder of Petitioner’s claims were not within the purview of a coram-nobis proceeding.
